Thanks to the Malaysian, the nation economy came to breath again and retailer can smile to the ears when Malaysian Mega Sale Carnival came again. To date, MasterCard revealed that members spent about US$1.18 billion (RM4.13 billion) in just 59 days!. That for a credit card sales, I think the cash sales will be the same amount…

LOOK! that why it’s called the Jetty (pic from flickr by jasondgreat).

This Jetty never meant for boats or ship to dock. The name Jetty because it is physically looked like a Jetty and it is extended far toward the sea, the Straits of Melaka. The Jetty is a complex that house fine restaurants and Karaoke lounge. Nicely situated between Mahkota Hotel and Holiday Inn. The Jetty now starting to be a famous nightspot for Melakans to eat and to get amusement. You can choose to enjoy your food at the outdoor area and the wind from the straits will be quite strong.
